Meles Zenawi

Meles Zenawi was the Prime Minister of Ethiopia from 1995 until his death in 2012, and a significant figure in East African politics. He played a crucial role in the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) and was instrumental in overthrowing the Derg regime in the early 1990s. His leadership was marked by efforts to modernize Ethiopia's economy, though it was also criticized for authoritarian practices and human rights abuses. Zenawi's tenure left a complex legacy, as he was both praised for economic growth and condemned for suppressing dissent.
